SpaceLog is a web-based inventory information system developed for the Cyber Defense Center of the Indonesian Ministry of Defense to address the limitations of spreadsheet-based management, which is static, non-real-time, and lacks accountability. This study proposes a novel approach by implementing a unit-centric architecture combined with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) specifically tailored for the high-security requirements of the defense sector. The system development utilizes the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, built upon Laravel, MySQL, and Bootstrap frameworks. Key features include unique QR Code tracking for individual assets, hierarchical location mapping, and a comprehensive audit trail. Testing results using the Black-Box method demonstrate that all functional scenarios, including item tracking and tiered access rights (Superadmin, Section Head, Staff), operate with 100% validity. Furthermore, the implementation significantly improves operational success by transforming asset management from a manual, error-prone process into a real-time, fully auditable digital ecosystem, thereby meeting the strict accountability standards of the Ministry of Defense.
